JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police say a man killed by a Palestinian attacker in a stabbing spree in the port city of Jaffa was an American tourist.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri says the man was killed Tuesday when a Palestinian stabbed seven people in the ancient Mediterranean port city of Jaffa next to Tel Aviv. No other details on the victim’s identity were immediately available.
The attack was just one in multiple Palestinian stabbing and shooting attacks that came as Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Israel on a two-day visit as part of a regional tour of the Mideast.
Four Palestinian attackers were shot and killed in the day’s rash of violence that wounded a dozen Israelis. It was the latest bloodshed in a five-month wave of near-daily Palestinian attacks on civilians and security forces.

Well of course. This is the way Palestinians advance and get the freedom they desire. Just kill innocent people and the world will join your side. It’s just taking a bit longer than expected…but it’s got to work. Just ask Hamas.
If these idiots could dump the hatred and control the fanatics among them…they could win. Israels a real piece if shitty work but this carp is hardly the way to contrast yourself with them. For now everyone in the mess is a bad guy, Palestinian and Israeli alike so we should walk away.
The Israeli-Palestinian dynamic is about as bad as it can be. The ruling people/parties on both sides gain support from the bad behavior of the other side, but lose no support when they take action to goad bad behavior by the other side.
